Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 164 Bai Qiu Refuses

"Hello...!" Hongxia's Doritos perked up on her head as she asked somewhat nervously, "We are the End Band. Why did you look for us?"

Kyoko Saito nodded and smiled at Shiraaki, "If it's convenient, I'd like to have a chat with Mr. Shiraaki. You seem quite interested in our firm."

Upon hearing this, Ichiri, Nijika, Kita, and Ryo's eyes trembled slightly.

Immediately afterward, Hongxia asked instinctively, "Eh... is it just Aki-kun?"

It's not that I don't want Bai Qiu to be noticed by an agency, it's just that it doesn't include ending the band...

That means Bai Qiu will be signed by a separate agency.

That kind of thing...

"Interested in me?"

Bai Qiu looked at the other person with surprise in her eyes.

He couldn't recall having any connection with this firm.

Kyoko Saito nodded. "Yes, that's right."

She looked at Hongxia and the others.

That strange girl with pink hair, wearing sportswear and huddled up in a ball, actually has guitar skills that meet the agency's signing requirements.

However, her main purpose in coming here today was to see Bai Qiu.

Kyoko Saito's gaze returned to Shiraaki, as if she were looking at a piece of unpolished jade.

And it seemed that the other party was genuinely only interested in Bai Qiu, rather than ending the band.

Nijika and Ichiri's faces were slightly pale, while Ryo and Kita were in better condition.

Bai Qiu fell silent for a moment.

If it's just him.

Of course, we firmly refuse!

He had already made the band members nervous once because of mygo.

This is a game I absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake on.

Bai Qiu then asked, "Would you mind revealing the specifics of what it is?"

Kyoko Saito squinted and smiled at Nijika and the others, then hesitated to speak.

Bai Qiu noticed her concerns and chuckled, "Miss Saito, please speak frankly."

"Okay." Kyoko Saito nodded, took out a stack of A4 papers, and began to speak:

"I have reviewed all of your public performance recordings online, and Mr. Bai Qiu's keyboard skills are quite, very good."

You are absolutely at a professional level; even among professional musicians, you would definitely be one of the best.

Bai Qiu nodded. "I know that without you saying it."

Then Kyoko Saito's voice drifted over.

"Not only that, we've also discovered that your bass playing is of a very high standard. Our agency believes you are musically talented, and from watching your performances, we can see that you excel at teamwork."

Our firm happens to be looking to hire a keyboardist. If it's convenient for you now, we can schedule a time to discuss it in detail.

I believe the terms our firm offers will satisfy you.

Kyoko Saito stated her purpose clearly and concisely in one breath.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kyoko Saito looked at Bai Qiu with great confidence.

She figured that after her explanation, the other party would definitely be moved.

But doesn't he seem a little too calm?

He was probably too surprised and frightened.

However, Hongxia and the others couldn't help but hold their breath.

They're here to poach our talent!

But for Bai Qiu, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

They looked at Bai Qiu nervously.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to sign with an agency right now," Bai Qiu shook her head, answering very decisively.

"Huh?" Kyoko Saito was taken aback for a moment, then quickly added, "You don't need to make a decision in such a hurry."

Hongxia and the others were also stunned.

Hongxia wondered if Bai Qiu hadn't even thought about it!

"Wait, Qiu Jun..."

Kyoko Saito took a breath and calmed herself down. After thinking for a moment, she decided to offer an attractive offer.

You've heard of the duo Sumimi, right?

Bai Qiu and the others nodded.

Sumimi has been quite popular lately.

You can see them on billboards on the street, and you can often hear their songs in karaoke bars.

“I’m also sumimi’s manager,” Kyoko Saito said with a smile. “Our agency is looking to add a musician to sumimi, and Mr. Shiraaki, you might be a good fit.”

Kyoko Saito's alluring voice drifted over.

She thought to herself that collaborating with two beautiful idol girls was something many people would love to do.

Bai Qiu blinked. Was she testing him with this?

Bai Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Sumimi a girl idol group?"

“Yes.” Kyoko Saito nodded, then smiled and said, “But with the competition among idol groups so fierce these days, we have to make some different changes.”

Bai Qiu and Hong Xia were somewhat surprised and twitched their lips, but they also felt that what she said made some sense.

"And in terms of image and temperament, Mr. Bai Qiu perfectly meets our agency's standards." Saito Kyoko looked at Bai Qiu expectantly: "So you can reconsider."

She invited him again.

At this moment, Hongxia and the others also focused their gazes on Bai Qiu with great trepidation.

Under their surprised gazes, Bai Qiu politely handed the business card back to her, repeating, "I'm sorry, Ms. Saito, I still have the same idea. Also..."

Bai Qiu paused, then shifted his gaze to Hong Xia and the others before smiling and saying, "Besides, I don't plan to leave the End of the Band either."

Bai Qiu's straightforward words acted like a tranquilizer in the girls' hearts.

The girls smiled with surprise and delight.

Kyoko Saito looked at the business card Bai Qiu handed back and smiled helplessly.

Unexpectedly, we returned empty-handed.

"Keep your business card. You can contact me if you change your mind or have any other questions in the future."

Saito Kyoko said.

Even if you are rejected, you can still make a good friend.

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, Hongxia pressed Baiqiu's hand down, telling Baiqiu to keep the business card.

“Hongxia, you…”

Bai Qiu tilted her head and looked at Hong Xia.

I was just about to ask Hongxia what she was doing.

Hongxia quickly smiled and said, "Qiu-jun, this is a rare opportunity. It's okay to think about it some more."

Seeing this, Kyoko Saito smiled and said one last thing before turning to leave:

"Mr. Bai Qiu can contact me at any time. Sorry to bother you all."

……

Kyoko Saito left.

However, the atmosphere among them was clearly not as lively as before.

Hongxia and the others were somewhat discouraged.

Although Bai Qiu explicitly rejected the other party.

However, they couldn't help but think that Bai Qiu refused to sign with an agency because she had ended her band career.

Although this touched them deeply, they also felt somewhat guilty, wondering if they had once again held back the team.

Fortunately.

After Bai Qiu and Hong Xia had a heart-to-heart talk some time ago, they were able to find Kita again.

The End Band isn't so easily defeated now.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry about this. Didn't Liang compose a new piece? Let's practice it."

"Wait, Qiu-jun, don't come over yet," Hongxia suddenly said to Bai Qiu.

The girls then exchanged glances.

They seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

Bai Qiu subconsciously stopped in her tracks and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Hongxia said, "We have something to discuss."

Kita Ikuyo, Goto Ichiri, and Yamada Ryo nodded in agreement.

Bai Qiu smiled helplessly before saying, "Alright then..."

Then, the group formed a circle in front of Bai Qiu and began to whisper among themselves.

Bai Qiu: "..."

I feel rejected.

To avoid being suspected of eavesdropping, Bai Qiu consciously went to the vending machine and got a glass of orange juice.

ten minutes later.

Bai Qiu is back.

"Qiu-kun, we've made up our minds!" Several girls, led by Hongxia, looked at Bai Qiu with very serious expressions.

"What have you decided?" Bai Qiu asked.

The girls exchanged glances, their resolve solidified.

Hongxia: "We're also going to participate in the live event at RiNG in a week!"

"ha--?"

Bai Qiu let out a long "ha!" and almost dropped the orange juice in her hand.

RiNG? Wouldn't that clash with mygo?

"Wait, wait a minute...isn't this a bit too sudden?"

"And if we want to hold a live performance, we don't need to go all the way to RiNG, right?"

Although she asked the question, Bai Qiu vaguely guessed that it was related to what had just happened.

Goto Ichiri suddenly stood up from the group and looked at Shiraaki seriously, saying, "Aki-kun, this time... we want to do it in RiNG."

Bai Qiu looked at Yi Li: "Yi Li, RiNG has a lot more viewers than Fanxing."

“No…no problem!”

Yili mustered his courage and said firmly.

After saying that, Yili quickly shrank back.

Was she just too cocky?

Kita also raised his fist: "Yes, we want to prove ourselves!"

Liang nodded: "It's just us this time."

Bai Qiu looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Hong Xia smiled sheepishly at Bai Qiu: "Does that mean Qiu-jun doesn't need to go on stage this time?"
